| Abstract: | Men's alcohol expectancies are an important cognitive-behavioral component of their consumption; yet, sparse research details such behaviors for men in two-year colleges. Selected for inclusion with the current study were 563 men from seven Illinois community colleges. Logistic regression analysis indicated four significant, positive relationships between binge drinking and alcohol expectancies related to ice breaking, connectedness facilitation, having fun, the sexiness of women, and one inverse relationship for men's sexiness. Programmatic initiatives and individualistic approaches to treatment and education are proposed. |
